  1. Ok, so this isn't listed on IMDB yet. I read via youtube that this is from the pilot which may have been the only episode aired? I'm guessing this could be on BBC America? It's on Channel 4 over in the UK. Here's the synopsis: US comedian David Cross plays Todd Margaret, a hapless office drone who flukes his way into a top management job heading up the British division of a US multinational. All he has to do is sell a dozen container loads of dodgy Korean energy drinks before his psychotic boss, played by Will Arnett, visits in a week's time. It doesn't help that he knows nothing about the
  2. I remember when I first bought the Miami Vice dvd I noticed that the beginning was different. I never actually watched the dvd version. I only put it on briefly to see the transfer. I think Mann topped himself visually with Public Enemies. I especially loved the look of the film when there was the night time shootout at the hotel and the interior bank robberies. Something about it made it feel real by looking "amateurish". And I mean that in the best way. (having my bachelor's in film I find it hard sometimes to verbalize these thoughts, but it's got to be the HD realism vs. the film look) A
  3. Thanks Hoodoo Man, Good Old Neon & Moss! Somehow we had a 68 degree day north of Boston in December?! Then the movie I went to see ended up being cancelled. Please exercise caution if you are seeing a movie's last showing on its last day. A lot of movie theaters cancel the last show, so that the projectionist can break down the film to be shipped out before midnight. The internet had the show listed yesterday?! I kind of expected this because I used to work at a movie theater, but I assumed it wouldn't happen since An Education is only 90 minutes and the show time wasn't that

  5. I also really really enjoyed Miami Vice. I'm not sure if it makes my list for the decade though.
  6. Amazing choice at number 1. Huge fan of Terrence Malick. I personally think The Thin Red Line is one of the best films around. Also, love the Lynch in there too. And Before Sunset would probably be in my Top Ten too. A lot of stuff here that I agree on. PS I need to get cracking on my list. I left off at 2001.
  7. Thanks Analogman! I also would like to take this time out to send a belated happy birthday to Matt(The Z) & Brianne and anyone else who has had a birthday over the past couple of weeks. (the other threads disappeared lol) And to the people who asked me what I want for my birthday...well..let me think..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4PvdpXxXpY
  8. ABC remains very tight lipped about any images being released for the final season of Lost. But a Spanish tv station made their own interesting promo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C56Lgl6DorM&feature=player_embedded It's interesting that Lost is going for the bigger picture of Free Will vs. Determinism. This idea ties in with some discussions going on over in the New Atheists thread.
  9. Mr. Kinsley, I think this week's episode is the one of which you are speaking about. Take a look at the synopsis: Scott's Tots Michael is forced to face the music after he realizes he can’t keep a promise he made to a group of kids 10 years ago. Meanwhile, Jim starts an employee of the month program to increase employee morale.

  13. I'm bumping this up since Good Old Neon brought this ^ up. Since I don't remember every single teaching in Catholic grade school or high school, I was wondering how that particular story is told. I don't remember what angle my religion teacher took in the 80s. And I'm quite curious how this is taught nowadays. I suppose I could Google it but I'd rather hear what other people have to say. Plus, I assume Good Old Neon is blaming women's mistreatment on the Adam & Eve story. But from what I posted above it could be seen in a different light. I'm just not sure if it's taught that way in cert
  14. Speaking of Woody Allen, Happy Birthday! 74 years old.
  15. Alright, I'm kind of fascinated by what people think of the Adam & Eve story and Pandora. Bear with me I'm going to try and connect these ideas with a recent film that received some misogynistic reviews. OK. Adam & Eve. Eve is offered fruit from the Tree of Knowledge from the serpent. She takes it and eats from it. I'm sure anyone at that point would eat from it, since it was the Tree of Knowledge. I guess the problem with it is that certain groups use it to put down women. I know that one woman named Eve is not indicative of any other woman's actions, but let's play along. What if
  16. Ok it's time for me to open up and then ask some questions. I went to Catholic school all the way through senior year in high school. By the time I got to 7th or 8th grade I stopped believing and started questioning. Of course due to biases my parents felt the need to send me to a Catholic high school for a "better" education than public school. I would say I gradually went from an Atheist to an Agnostic over the course of my college years. I used to have nightmares almost every night in my childhood. I remember they involved someone being tortured (in a jungle type setting) from their poi
  17. LOL Yeah, I would definitely shit a brick if he showed up like that on a Christmas show.
  18. I could understand feeling hopeless over such things as oil running out. But I'd have to put my faith into people in much higher positions than me/us to provide us with alternatives. That being said if money is behind it (obviously) along with our sustainment as a species, then I can see it happening...(edit) alternative energy that is. On the other hand, I can easily see us facing extinction in another fashion from either a comet or disease or whatever else we can't control.
  19. Hey! He just changed his avatar! Shit! I honestly like your arguments better while associating them with General Zod. I mean the poor guy wasn't even there for the destruction of his home planet. Instead he was floating around space in a creepy mirror with a dumb mute and a kind of sexy goth chick. Although, it's debatable whether he was adapting by trying to conquer "Planet Houston". He could have found work in Greenwich Village.
  20. Where else would you see General Zod and Charlie Brown having a back and forth on the Energy Crisis?!
